Curves Ahead: Azzedine Alaia's Leopard Print Corset

Azzedine Alaia, the "King of Cling", does not fail to live up to his name with the new leopard corset belt. The scalloped edges of the top and bottom of the corset recall both the primal nature of the pattern and the careful consciousness of the designer's aesthetic. The corset, a piece that throughout history has (quite literally) transformed the bodies of women is done in luxurious ocelot print pony that blends beautifully with the body conscious trends of the season, while the leopard pattern exudes the feel of a modern twist on a classic. The must-have for the summer and seasons to come is available at Barneys New York for $3075.
